There are 2 subjects about this issue but all is not for mac.

How can i open a webpage in Incognito mode with Python in my Mac Computer ?

Normal is easy

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open('http://example.com')  # Go to example.com

Some guys this a code like this but this is also now working for mac.

import webbrowser

url = 'http://docs.python.org/'

# MacOS
chrome_path = 'open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app %s'
webbrowser.get(chrome_path).open(url)

Any idea ?

  • Unfortunately I'm not a mac user so about the best I could do is google it for you. Hopefully these links have given you the right direction – Hymns For Disco Feb 04 '20 at 14:56

It seems you are using mac OS looking at the patch of your chrome

I also struggled with this one. I ended up using os

import os

os.system("open -na \"Google Chrome\" --args --incognito \"www.google.com\"")
